Forecast issued at 9:17 pm EST on Tuesday 7 October 2025.
Weather Situation
A high moving across Tasman Sea extends a ridge over Queensland, promoting settled and dry conditions over central and southern Queensland. The high will continue to move eastwards, weakening the ridge over the next few days. Showers are forecast to increase over Far North Queensland into Wednesday as onshore winds under the ridge combine with an upper trough increasing instability in the area. A surface trough in the southwest of the state is forecast to remain slow moving until the middle of the week, directing a warm northwesterly wind flow over southern parts of the state. The trough will begin shifting east from Thursday, returning instability to much of the interior, before shifting further east on Friday and Saturday.
Forecast for the rest of Tuesday
Clear. Light winds.
